9 - Silvester Mok (b. 1996, #HongKong), “The Digital Fossiliser” (2026), 3D printer, 3D scanner, resin, #ceramic, metal furniture, presented by Touch Gallery.
Drawing on Hong Kong's 1st dinosaur fossil discovery in 2024, this project reflects on how life and objects are preserved across time.
Inspired by natural fossilisation and amber formation, Mok uses 3D scanning and
printing as a form of “accelerated fossilisation,” transforming everyday objects into ceramic and resin works that are conceptually preserved.
Presented as a living workshop within a fictional laboratory, the installation addresses questions of permanence, value, and memory in the digital age.

11 - Fang Zi, “莊園 Golden Fleece,” Deep Time #ArtGallery.
